Without exaggeration, we can say: before the reader is an epoch -making book. For the first time in Russian, the full edition of the famous “Biographies ...” Samuel Johnson, an intellectual, whose name became the synonym for the second half of the 18th century both in England and beyond. The great lexicographer and philologist, the creator of the famous “Dictionary of the English language” - Johnson was also an impeccable stylist, on whose style many authors of subsequent generations were guided by Virginia Wolfe and Litton Strechi. As if breaking through a veil of centuries, Johnson was ahead of his time: he was the first, in the age of King George III, announced that the main connoisseur of creativity is not a high -faced critic, but an “ordinary reader” is the one who is in the very thick of literary life, who, the only one, is the only one, who is the only one. It can give an unbiased assessment of the work. For the British, Johnson to this day remains the main aesthetic and moral authority.
52 biographies - biographies of British poets, from tiny sketches resembling elegantly embedded precious stones, to expanded, truly epic, stories that captivate the reader and carry it in distant times, included in the monument. Johnson is not without reason known as the reformer of the biographical genre. His biographies are not dry reports of facts and dates, but bright, spiritualized texts in which the life of past eras pulsates, and the heroes themselves go to the reader from the pages. Here are historical jokes and embarrassment, witty remarks and caustic remarks, and even real criminal dramas. In his biographies, Johnson showed two golden centuries of English poetry: in his immortal work such celebrities as a thundering Milton and magnificent POUP, witty swift and exquisite Addison, and many others. The biography includes lengthy (sometimes - for a dozen pages!) Expanders from their works, while many are translated into Russian for the first time - a real gift for a lover of English poetry!
The section “additions”, which includes the poetic works of S. Johnson, is the poetry “London”, written in imitation of Juvenal and not inferior in severity? The best saters of the Roman poet, chosen lyrics, marvelous examples of poetry of the Augustine era. Two most important critical texts, two preface, are presented here - to the famous “Dictionary ...” and to the publication of Shakespeare"s works (the discussion of the great Augustine about the great Elizabethan playwright) Finally, the present event is the publication of a large passage from the “Biography of Samuel Johnson”, translated into Russian by the classic of the translation of Yu.D. Levin and also published for the first time.
For the reader, the reader is a thoroughly prepared scientific apparatus. The best understanding of the text will be to contribute to a detailed philological and historical comment (comp. N.I. Reingold), in which, among other things, the main sources of Johnson’s labor, options and discrepancies are identified, contexts, allusions, realities are disassembled-and generally appealed, in All diverse glory, the creative laboratory of the author. More information about Johnson’s life and work, about the place that he occupied in the life of the era, as well as about the Russian reception, the reader will be able to draw from three articles (authors - N.I. Reingold and E.P. Zykova) The real edition and colorful color albums are included in the real edition: the first of them illuminates the life of Johnson and his circle, the second includes portraits of poets created by the greatest artists of those times.
It is recommended to the widest circle of readers
